machinery was devised and set up. only
to be discarded, when it was found that
with the best means and the utmost
care not more than 40 per cent of the
saccharine matter could be got out of

the diffusion process was hit upon.
This seems to be the correct prin-
ciple as nearly all the sugar is ex-
tracted from the plant, and the works
are now running on full time with
most satisfactory result. Commission
er Colman came all the way out from
Washington to witness the process of

pounds more are expected from

from ten to fifteen tons of cane per

Quick Returns.

There arc no long years of weary
waiting in store for the man who buys
an Allen County farm and goes enor-
getically to work. He doesn't have to
wear out his life clearing OUT Il farm
that will only be productive for those
that come after him. On our beautiful
prairies there are no stumps to grub
out, no stones to be gathered up. The
sod is ready at once for the pillow, and
us soon as it is turned over it is ready
for the seed. 1t is a poor year when
the freshly turned sod will not yield
enough to richly repay the labor that
is expended upon it; while very often
the crops raised the second year fully
equal any subsequent ones. And the
land that is not plowed does not lie
idle. 1t is raising crop Of natural
grass that will at least pay the taxes
and the interest ON the money invested
in it, Sometimes it does much more
than this A farmer who owns three
quarter sections of raw land near lola,
told us n few days since that he would
sell this year $1,000 worth of hay from
them. That is. the prairie grass from
these three quarter sections can DE
sold for enough to pay for one of them.
But there are other things also Of
but little less Importance. for which
the newcomer in Alien County does not
have to wait. He does not have to wait
for ne:ghbors, for post-Oflices. for rail-
roads. for churches to he organized and
Luilt, for school houses to be erected,
for ali the intricate and varied machin-
cry of society and municipal govern
ment to get to running smoothly, and
for all the other accessories of civilized
LIE. All these things are already pre-
pared. Some of US have waited for
them and worked for them and spent
money to get them; but they are here
now. The way has been made straight
for those that come after us.
Too much emphasis can not be laid
upon these two things. namely: the
quick returns of labor and the settled
condition of society. Life is none too
long ut best, and as little of it us possi-
bic should be spent in getting ready to
lirc.

Kansas never asks man any ques-
tons. She doesn't care who his father
was. She is not interested in the great
things he did. or the high consideration
in which he was held ''back East"
She watches him.
If he goes to work like man; if he
behaves himself; if he takes care OF
his family and is accommodating to his
neighbors, and, above all, if he

him as one of her own. If he doesn't
do these things she hasn't any use for
him, and it doesn't take him long to
find it out. Kansas likes money. To
get it is one of the things we are all
here for. But there is no place on
earth where mere money will buy less
consideration. 1t is the man that is
looked at, not the
''Tinsel show and a tha.,'
and if he wants to be respected he must
make himself worthy of respect.

true that poor men or men

In GENEHAL.-Weh have endeavored.
in the foregoing paragraphs, to set
forth in as plain language as possible,
the principal features of our county.
Some of the topics. merely touched
upon here, will be found in greater de-
tail in separate articles published else
where in this paper. In general,
speaking of the county rs a whole, il
may be stated without exaggeration
that it offers inducements second to no
locality in the West for men of small
or moderate means who wish to secure
home for themselves and their chill
dren. Land can still be purchased here
at most reasonable prices. and the pur-
chaser will find himself in possession
of property that is productive at once
and that viii rapidly increase in value.
and in the midst of a settled and hos
pitable community, with churches and
school houses already built and all the
accessories of modern life already ut
hand. The publisher of this paper has
lived in Allen County twenty-seven
years. He feels, therefore, as though
he had a sort of right to invite other
people to come here, and he does SO
with perfect confidence, knowing that
the land whereof he speaks is a goodly
land and that those who enter in aud
possess it will never regret their
choice.
